  It's presented as an example of a free tool which implements many of
the algorithms presented in the course.

  Another exercise in the course is a program made in C/C++ which uses
OpenGL/GLUT to make a simple Descent-style program (ie. you can "fly"
freely inside a set of rooms).

Wow!  Thanks for sharing.

Were these done in class, or was the project mainly for homework?

  Homework.

I remember you've posted the results before (last year?). I like them
very much!
How does the students like it? Does anyone of them continue using
POV-Ray?

Ouch. :)

Did you offer the students object libraries, or did they do all of the coding
in the scene?  Also, I noticed that many of them were post-processed.
Photoshop, I assume?

  They had to do everything "by hand".

  Quoting myself:

"The task is to design a CD cover using POV-Ray and an image manipulation
program."

  I don't know. I can't know what they do with their lives after the course
is over... :)

They did a really nice job on those objects, then!

Yes, I know.  I'm not that thick. :)

I'm just wondering what program was used to do all of that.

  Whichever they wanted. Gimp was provided in the computer labs, but its
use was not mandatory.

Hunt them down and ask them? :)
Would've been fun to meet some of them in the newsgroup eh?
